Basically i want out of tax discussions. There is certain rental income that is not passive. There are many people who offer tax advice that is not correct, regardless of whether they think they are qualified or not, and the web and real estate literature abounds in contradictory information. H&R Block has great spreadsheet that sorts things. While on my screed, I note IRS publications are of just modest help as end up saying fill in usual forms (and list many) without telling the proper form.
